Which statement is most likely made by a transactional leader?
1. "I can work an extra shift tomorrow night. Who can cover tonight?"
2. "Jan's mother is ill. Is anyone able to cover her shift tonight?"
3. "If you work overtime tonight, I will authorize double your hourly pay rate."
4. "How can we work together to cover Jan's shifts until her mother is better?"
Answer: 3
Rationale: Transactional leadership is based on the principles of social exchange theory. There is an exchange process between leaders and followers. The offer to work a shift and then ask for help is an example of transformational leadership. Asking for assistance to cover the shift is also transformational leadership style. Finally, asking others how to solve the problem is also transformational leadership.
